Bernie himself defending himself

[gstopp at fibermux.com]

     Rick Jansen asked that we stop this thread, so here's one last post 
     from me, in response to Thierry's question:
     
     If you want to build an analog synthesizer, Electronotes is essential. 
     It is definitely worth the price. It contains old-fashioned low-cost 
     low-quality transistor circuits, just for curiosity value. It contains 
     hard-to-find Curtis and SSM chip based circuits, because Curtis and 
     SSM started in Electronotes. Above all it contains original and 
     interesting circuits, that are as professional as Serge modules and 
     maybe even better (oooh strong words I know...). In other words, it 
     contains all types of circuits. It also contains a lot of theory of 
     design, and of other related topics like psychoacoustics, interviews, 
     and even record reviews.
     
     Probably I should mention that my original distribution of the PCC was 
     verbally authorized by Bernie via telephone over one year ago. Perhaps 
     he doesn't remember, and to be honest I don't really remember the 
     actual verbage used. I do remember mentioning an "email list" which 
     didn't seem to have a big impression at the time. However he is 
     perfectly proper in his requests, so let honor be our guide here. This 
     thing may have well gotten out of control beyond his or my 
     expectations.
     
     And I do think that there is something to the idea that email list 
     discussions, and maybe even web site tidbits, could be his best 
     advertising ever....

Hello,
     
I just would like to ask a silly question: 
What is so interesting in "Electronotes" ? 
Is that worth its price ?
     
I am particularly interested in knowing what are the contents: 
- old fashioned low-cost low quality transistor circuits
or
- hard to find Curtis and SSM chips based circuits 
or
- Original and interesting circuits ?
